thanks, Joel, for your great work.

@josele13 Thanks for your detailed answer. Your profound advices are very helpful. I have to study this in detail.

@c0n57an71n I admit, this is an advantage of the PinePhone. I also miss a dual boot option for Ubuntu Touch. Some apps only work on newer Android releases. I currently carry around three different Samsung Galaxy S5 devices with different Android versions. Each for it's on purpose. One for ANT+, one for writing capability to the SD card, and one for phone calls the latest Android apps. With Ubuntu Touch, there will be one device more. Multi boot could solve the problem.

@flohack I don't agree with flohack. Even when developers are not present in the forum, every knowledge about devices is precious. For instance, there is a problem with the different types of Xiaomi devices, which their exact model naming. A subfolder for each Xiaomi device which is ported, or generally for each device which is ported would be helpful. Every port is precous work and deserves a subfolder, a subfolder for each device someone requests. Even if there is no further developement for a device, it is good to know the different devices, their naming, and what is working, and what is not working. This can help which device to choose. Else this information is scattered everywhere.

I don t have this device either, and I am not a porter as well, but I appreciate your work very much. Every contribution to the Ubuntu Touch community is helpful.

@pavelprosto congratulations, you are really the leader for the new Python Phone .

@makeixo Don't worry,the future is Python.

@lakotaubp I invite everybody to create folders at XDA developrs. Everybody is free to create new folders and developer threads there. You only have to make a defined number of contributions there. There is no one who dictates other rules there.

@applee I want my four missing Xiaomi folders that I requested, or I will ignore everyone who is against it.

@makeixo Looking since years for Python on a Phone, and NOT MycroPython, ANT+ , Muse SDK on Android, or things like that. Who wants to carry around a laptop with Matlab or Python for sensor data aquisition? Bring Python to Linux Phones!

@captainzer0 I had the same problem. Do I have a Xiaomi Redmi 7 or a Xiaomi Redmi 7a? Someone gave me the following information. On your device, go to settings, my device, device model.

@mikhael said in Xiaomi Poco F1 (Beryllium):

@joel thank you for your work!

I'm using Ubuntu Touch on Poco as my daily driver and with the latest update to the halium-boot it seems really stable and won't even discharge anymore! Really, today is fifth day since i've charged it and it still has 35% of battery remaining.

This is great. Reviews say battery life of Poco F1 is around 7 to 8 hours. I'm looking for a linux device for 24h * 7d sensor data aquisition, this requires the device run. 24h * 7d. How long is battey life of the Poco F1 in this mode?
